** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Some complex bond configurations require setting a "primary" interface for 
the bond, or setting this greatly improves performance on the network bond.
  
  [Test case]
  See below for a configuration example.
  1) Apply configuration on a system with netplan.
  2) Run 'netplan apply'
  3) Validate that netplan apply does not return with an error
  4) Validate that netplan properly sets the "primary_slave" value on the bond. 
This can be verified by looking at /sys/class/net/<bond 
interface>/bonding/primary_slave.
+ 5) Validate that there are no parsing errors from systemd-networkd in the 
journalctl
  
  [Regression potential]
  If existing configuration fails to be parsed, or lack of primary interface 
breaks configuration for existing bonds, this would be a regression caused by 
this update.

  ifenslave/eni support a bond parameter:  bond-primary which accepts an
  interface name that can be used to tell the kernel bonding driver which
  interface it should preferred in active-backup (and other modes).  This
  config option is missing in netplan.
